'Your sister?'
'Yes...'
'What's her name?'
'Li Jingqian...'
'Don't tell anyone. Whenever you go to bed, you can only sleep in the room where you and I sleep. Otherwise, even if you say a word in your sleep, others may be able to infer a lot of things.'
'I know.'
'She's fine now. Don't worry too much.'
'I...'
'Go!'
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Li Jingzhi went with a heavy heart.
Sigh...
Zhang Yong regretted it a little.
Perhaps, he shouldn't have told her all this?
It's just adding to her burden.
He shook his head and watched Li Jingzhi leave. Then he pondered how to get Xu Sheng to open his mouth.
The boss of Wanfeng Freight seemed to be based in the concession.
It is probably not possible to use force inside the concession. It is likely to attract protests from foreigners.
The key point is that intelligence shows that the Japanese have also strengthened their infiltration of the concession. There are also Japanese in the police station.
At the same time, the Japanese invaders have also planted a small military police team inside the concession.
In other words, in the future, fighting inside the concession may result in being pursued by the Japanese military police. There may be a direct firefight.
Damn, the Japanese are really stretching their tentacles...
'Ring ring ring!'
'Ring ring ring!'
Suddenly the phone rang.
He picked it up a little impatiently.
'You are Zhang Yong.'
'Who is this?'
Zhang Yong realised it was an unfamiliar voice.
He definitely hadn't heard it before. But the fact that the call was forwarded here meant that it wasn't just anyone.
'I am Duan Tiansheng.'
'I don't know you.'
'Duan Tiansheng, have you heard of it?'
'No.'
'Our boss is Zhang Xiaolin, Boss Zhang...'
'Oh.'
Zhang Yong is unmoved.
A subordinate of Zhang Xiaolin? No wonder. Competent.
The call came here.
'What is it?'
'You killed our people, do you think we will let you go?'
'Your name is Duan Tiansheng?'
'Yes!'
'I won't let you go either.'
'You...'
Duan Tiansheng is at a loss for words at the other end of the line.
This Zhang Yong is so arrogant. He is even more arrogant than the others in the Fuxing Society.
A young bull is not afraid of a tiger?
Fine, let him die with a clear conscience and a clear understanding.
In Shanghai, the Fuxing Society is not in a position to give orders.
He hangs up the phone.
'Guys!'
Five men in black immediately approach.
Each one has a fierce expression and a cold gaze. They all have guns stuck in their waists.
'Pass the order down!'
'If you catch any members of the Fuxing Society, kill them in secret!'
'Kill one and you'll be rewarded with 500 silver dollars!'
Duan Tiansheng sneered.
In Shanghai, money was everything.
500 silver dollars was enough to buy a lot of lives. Everyone would go crazy.
Fuxing Society, just you wait!
Duan Tiansheng thought hard, and perhaps the Fuxing Society could enlist the help of the military.
But when it came to backstabbing, taking potshots, and all kinds of plots and schemes, the Fuxing Society was still just a little kid. Hmph!
...
'Duan Tiansheng...'
'Duan Tiansheng?'
'The Four Kings?'
Zhang Yong thought about it casually. He didn't really care.
He wasn't afraid of Zhang Xiaolin, let alone Zhang Xiaolin's men. The bigger the commotion, the better. The bigger the commotion, the more ruthless the crackdown would be.
Huang Jinrong had suffered greatly when he beat Lu Xiaojia. Not to mention Zhang Xiaolin?
"Yang Zhi!'
'Yes!'
'Take your squad and let's go into the concession.'
'Do you need weapons?'
'No need. I can get weapons inside the concession.'
'Good!'
Yang Zhi immediately went.
They used the Fuxing Society's documents to enter the concession.
But they couldn't openly carry weapons. Not even pistols. Otherwise, the concession police station would make a fuss again.
Zhang Yong didn't care. He had a lot of pistols hidden in his personal space.
A few pistols were enough to deal with one or two Japanese spies.
If there are too many Japanese spies, then he would consider using grenades. That would make a lot of noise.
However, this incident reminded Zhang Yong.
He must set up a weapons den inside the concession. Collect a batch of weapons.
When entering the concession to carry out missions, go to the den to get the weapons. After completing the mission, return the weapons.
I wonder if Gu Xiaoru has returned yet?
The house she rented for herself, is it suitable for storing weapons?
Someone must live there permanently. Or keep an eye on it. Otherwise, it will be easy prey for thieves.
The thieves in the concession are still very powerful.
Two years later, the area outside the concession had fallen, and a large number of ordinary people had poured into it, making it even more chaotic.
Soon, the team assembled.
A small group of a dozen people. All in civilian clothes.
As Zhang Yong had instructed, they entered the concession from Zhabei. Then they met up near the entrance.
And off they went.
They arrived at the entrance to the concession.
Show your ID.
Search.
No weapons.
Enter without incident.
Assemble.
Zhang Yong takes out a pistol and gives it to Yang Zhi.
'Today, our mission is Wanfeng Freight,' Zhang Yong says, giving a brief introduction.
He then leads the team to Sideng Road.
The headquarters of Wanfeng Freight is located at the junction of Sideng Road and Fashen Road.
The location is not very good. There are generally few people going in and out. It is still acceptable for freight. Several old trucks are parked outside.
From a distance, Zhang Yong saw a black car pull out. There was a red dot in the car.
Basically, it was certain that the red dot was Xu Sheng himself.
So he stood in the middle of the road without moving, raising his gun. He stopped the car.
The black car had no choice but to stop. The window slowly lowered.
Yang Zhi quickly walked up, pointing the muzzle of the gun at the window.
Zhang Yong came up behind him and saw that it was indeed Xu Sheng.
'Hey, Captain Zhang!' Xu Sheng also recognised Zhang Yong. He suddenly felt relieved.
He wondered who it was. It turned out to be him!
I met him last time.
It seems nothing happened.
'Boss Xu, get out of the car,' Zhang Yong said with a stern face.
'Captain Zhang, what's the matter?' Xu Sheng got out of the car calmly. He wasn't panicking.
'Come with us!'
'Captain Zhang, let's talk about this,'
'You are a Japanese spy. We have nothing to say.'
'It's a frame-up, a frame-up...'
'You have already been identified.'
'It's a slander, an absolute slander!'
'Come with us! Let's talk it over!'
'No, Captain Zhang, look...'
'Go!'
Zhang Yong pushes the other man and they go to the adjacent open space.
The others watch from a distance. They are responsible for guarding the area.
Xu Sheng looked around and, seeing no one, expertly fished into his pockets. He pulled out two banknotes and deftly slipped them into Zhang Yong's pocket.
Zhang Yong did not refuse. He let Xu Sheng slip the banknotes in. Only when the other party withdrew his hand did he reluctantly say, 'Boss Xu, others have evidence...'
'Who? Who slandered me? I'll confront him.' Xu Sheng watched him take the money and a great weight was lifted from his heart.
'It was Kintaro Noguchi from the Huaiji Agency,' Zhang Yong planted the evidence.
That son of a bitch hid it so well, it made him very unhappy.
Since he couldn't find the other person, he just spread slander and framed people everywhere, getting the Japanese spies to turn on each other.
It was just like Wu Yuanfu, turning on each other, saving himself a lot of effort.
'Who?'
However, Xu Sheng looked confused.
Zhang Yong then knew that the two men didn't know each other.
Xu Sheng probably didn't even know about the Japanese spy agency.
Well, this bait has failed.
Fortunately, he immediately added, 'There's also He Sheng Yilang and Kikuta Yosuke from the Orchid Agency...'
'Impossible!' Xu Sheng reflexively exclaimed.
Zhang Yong then knew that Xu Sheng knew the two of them.
Could it be that this guy is also from the Orchid Agency? Otherwise, how would he know? Judging from Xu Sheng's reaction, it seems that there is more to the relationship.
'Yosuke Kikuta betrayed Kumazo Takegawa and you by the way.'
'Hagah!'
Xu Sheng couldn't help but swear.
Zhang Yong then knew that this sentence was the final straw that broke him.
It seems that Kumazo Takegawa and Xu Sheng are somewhat connected.
'You see, I was right!'
'No, no, I'm not, I'm not...'
'Let's go!'
'No...'
Xu Sheng shouted while digging into his pockets.
He took out a number of banknotes from his body and stuffed them all into Zhang Yong's Zhongshan suit pocket.
Zhang Yong: ...
Shit, carrying around so many banknotes? I like it.
He took one out at random. It was a 500 silver dollar note. He took another one, also a 500 silver dollar note. They were both issued by the American bank in the concession.
Not bad, not bad, catching spies really is lucrative.
Unfortunately, the headliner at the Club Nine Heavens, the Nightingale, was handed over to Kouxingde. Otherwise, she would have been plucked clean.
'With so little money, it's hard...' Zhang Yong frowned. It means he is in a difficult situation.
'I want more. I still have some,' Xu Sheng hurriedly said, 'I'll give you whatever you want. I'll give it all to you...'
'Five hundred thousand for ten years.'
'What?'
Xu Sheng was suddenly stunned.
It seemed like he heard it. But it also seemed like he didn't hear it.
Ten years? Five hundred thousand?
That's fifty thousand a year!
Damn it!
This guy is really asking for a lot.
Where am I going to find that much!
'You can pay in instalments,' Zhang Yongshang said, trying to appease him, 'just four thousand taels a month...'
'Captain Zhang, I really don't have that much...'
'Three thousand?'
'No...'
'Then there's nothing I can do...'
'I have it. I have it. I have it!'
Xu Sheng hastily changed his mind.
Three thousand a month. He agreed.
He knew very well what would happen if he was caught and taken back.
The torture of the Fuxing Society was no joke. Of course he hoped to avoid it if possible.
Now, he still had a choice. Once he was in the prison cell of the Fuxing Society, there would be no choice. Once he was in, there would never be a chance to get out.
'Sigh...'
Zhang Yong let out a silent sigh.
Xu Sheng's heart suddenly hung in his throat.
He didn't know what Zhang Yong would do with him.
'Boss Xu...'
'Go on, speak.'
'I can keep the secret of your Japanese spy for now. But you have to give me a replacement. It's not easy for me to come to the concession, and I definitely have to catch a Japanese spy back...'
'Yes, yes. Duan Tiansheng. A subordinate of Zhang Xiaolin. He's also Japanese.'
'What?'
Zhang Yong was overjoyed.
Duan Tiansheng is Japanese? Or was he betrayed by his own people?
Wow!
This Xu Sheng is really ruthless.
Betraying his own people, he doesn't hesitate for a second.
Could it be that the two have a grudge against each other?
'Really, really. Duan Tiansheng is Japanese,' Xu Sheng repeated.
'Okay. You can go,' Zhang Yong nodded.
